FC Midtjylland-FC Vestsjælland

Sunday 28/9 14.00

FC Midtjylland (1st) played a really poor match in Farum last weekend (lost 2-1 to FC Nordsjælland), where they committed many personal mistakes. However, FC Nordsjælland is a difficult team and the artificial pitch is always a challenge for the away team. Now they return to their own fortress in Herning, where they are more solid. They have won all four league home matches in this season and done so by dominating every opponent. For us, FC Midtjylland have clearly championship potential. The situation is looking even better with the news of the possible return of two vital players from injury: team top goalscorer in the past seasons Morten Duncan Rasmussen and offensive midfielder Petter Andersson. Both players should be able to play a part here. Central defender Jim Larsen is doubtful, but FC Midtjylland have an excellent back-up in Erik Sviatchenko. FC Midtjylland have some players with individual qualities that many opponents cannot match. The offensive trio of Igboun, Hassan and Sisto will be a big task for the defending trio of FC Vestsjælland. FC Vestsjælland (8th) are a team with two faces. The home face is impressive (3 wins and 1 draw), while the away face is terrible (4 losses). FC Vestsjælland have not been able to shut down matches to get points in away games like they did in the last season. There has been a coaching change and we suspect that this is the main reason. Head coach Michael Hansen is not as known for his defensive skills as his predecessor. However, FC Vestsjælland have some very focused players, but apart from the in-form Rasmus Festersen they lack offensive quality.

If you just look at stats, you have a good home bet here. And if you look behind the stats you get the same feeling. FC Midtjylland are simply a much stronger team than FC Vestsjælland, and they also seem to have quite good match-ups on the pitch. We would be surprised if FC Midtjylland do not win this match, and they could even to it with a margin if Duncan is back on top.
